What is Flock?

“Flock provides a perpendicular fibrous coating to almost any substrate that can be exploited in a variety of contexts. Precision cut flock fibers can be used for the reinforcement of materials such as concrete and paper or processed further to add value to a wide range of surfaces”.

What is the connection between Flock and SCHWABE USA Cutting Presses and Systems?

SCHWABE USA Cutting Presses & Systems are used in the manufacture of products in a variety of applications and industries, that flocking can be used e.g. packaging, automotive interior trim.

“Flock fibers are applied to adhesive coated surfaces either mechanically, electro statically or by a combination of both techniques. Mechanical flocking can be further divided into pneumatic and ‘beater-bar’ methods. Flock ManufactureFlock can be random or precision cut providing different pile effects. Common materials used to manufacture flock include: Cotton, Rayon, Acrylic, Nylon, Polyester.”
